Savannah Christian Prep Alumni

It’s hard to believe it’s already been five years! ❤️

Calling all SCPS Class of 2021 alumni—mark your calendars for your 5-Year Reunion happening October 9–10! We can’t wait to reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate together.

We hope to see you there! 🎉

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of David Skelding Corbett, a beloved educator, coach, veteran, and friend.

David began his teaching career in 1979 and faithfully served at Savannah Christian Preparatory School from 1980 to 2004. He taught social studies and world history, coached cross country, and helped establish the school's soccer program. His lasting impact was honored with the naming of Dave Corbett Field.

Please keep the Corbett family in your thoughts and prayers as we remember a life dedicated to service, education, and the lives of so many students and athletes.

Raider Logan Jones Gunnell ’21 is coming back to Savannah Christian. The ’21 SCPS graduate will begin as the Advancement Associate. She will be coaching 7th-grade volleyball and middle school basketball for the Raiders. Logan has a B.S. degree in Public Health with a Global Health Emphasis and a Minor in Public Relations from Georgia Southern University. Logan was a 4-year member of the Georgia Southern volleyball team. Recently, Sports Director Ken Griner had a chance to speak with Logan about coming back to SCPS.
KG: What was it about the job that appealed to you?
LJG: Savannah Christian has always been home to me. I grew up here, and this school helped shape me into the person I am today. The chance to come back and invest in the same community that poured into me is an opportunity I couldn’t pass up! It truly feels like a full-circle moment, and I’m excited to give back to a place that has meant so much to me and my family.
KG: What does your role as an Advancement Associate entail?
LJG: As an Advancement Associate, I get to share the heart of Savannah Christian with current and prospective families. Whether it’s giving campus tours, helping with events, or building relationships, I have the opportunity to show what makes this community so unique and why it’s such a special place to grow academically, spiritually, and personally.
KG: When giving tours, what is it about Savannah Christian that you really highlight?
LJG: When giving tours, I will mainly focus on the community surrounding the school. The teachers, coaches, and staff genuinely care about each student and invest in them both inside and outside the classroom. I experienced that firsthand, and it’s what makes Savannah Christian feel like so much more than a school—it’s a family that encourages students to grow in their faith, confidence, and God-given gifts.
KG: You’ll be coaching middle school basketball and 7th-grade volleyball, along with helping with varsity volleyball. What is it that you learned in your career that you want to pass along, and are you ready to coach with mom?
LJG: I want every athlete I coach to know that their confidence comes from who God created them to be, not just their performance on the court. My goal is to help young girls grow as athletes while also building character, resilience, and faith. Getting to do that alongside my mom at the school where I grew up makes it even more meaningful. It’s a true full-circle moment, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to coach together and pour into the next generation.

She will be coaching middle school volleyball and varsity tennis for the Raiders.

Recently, Sports Director Ken Griner had a chance to speak with Lexi about coming back to SCPS.
KG: What drew you back to Savannah Christian?
LP: Besides Savannah Christian being my alma mater, several factors drew me back. First, the opportunity to apply as a Pre-K teaching assistant in the lower school caught my eye. I was actively job searching, and when I saw that position open up, I knew I had to apply. Teaching has always been on my heart, and I thought, “What better place to teach than my alma mater?” I had a great experience at SCPS and was eager to apply for the Pre-K teaching assistant position. Another factor that drew me back was the opportunity to coach volleyball. I played volleyball at SCPS from 6th to 12th grade. I played for Coach Jones in high school, alongside her daughter, Logan Jones. I knew I would be able to get into coaching volleyball, whether it was middle school or high school. I am so excited to be the 6th-grade volleyball coach in the Fall! I will also be coaching High School Tennis alongside Coach Boatright in the Spring. I played tennis from 6th to 11th grades at SCPS. Not only did these opportunities draw me back to Savannah Christian, as well as the great experiences and memories I had here, but also the mission of “Developing the whole person to the glory of God.” My faith is extremely important to me, and I knew I wanted to surround myself in an environment that had the same beliefs and values as me.
KG: You already have a Bachelor's degree in Public Health from Mercer. Now you're going after your Master's in Teaching from Liberty University. Where did you learn the value of education?
LP: I had great experiences in school, from elementary school through college. Some of my favorite experiences came from elementary school. I knew I wanted to take my experiences from when I was younger to hopefully influence and positively affect young students. Education, especially for young kids, is so important in students' lives because it shapes them into who they will become in the future.
KG: You start at SCPS this year as a Teaching Assistant in Pre-K. What is it about that level that appeals to you?
LP: I absolutely LOVE kids. I have always had a special place in my heart for young children. I love seeing how their faces light up when they get excited or when they have something they want to share with me. I have a 5 -year-old nephew, and a 7-year-old niece, so I have had a lot of experience with young ages. I am a very nurturing, patient, caring person, which I believe are important traits for teaching Pre-K. I could not be more excited for the Fall!!
KG: You'll be coaching as well. After playing four years of beach volleyball at Mercer University, then another year at Georgia College playing indoor volleyball, what is it that you learned through athletics that you hope to pass along to students?
LP: I learned many things through athletics that I hope to pass along to students: Never Give Up, Embrace the Opportunities, and Do Not Take Anything for Granted. There are going to be times in life or in athletics that are going to be hard and that are going to challenge you. There are going to be moments that seem impossible to get through, but these moments are ones that shape you into the person you are meant to be and allow you to grow in life. In athletics, especially in college, you're going to feel uncomfortable at times. You are going to be pushed out of your comfort zone constantly, but that is where growth happens. You are also going to be given many opportunities in athletics, and some of those opportunities you may not expect. For example, if you're not given the amount of playing time that you have hoped for, you have to find other opportunities to be successful in, such as being the best teammate you can be, or having the best attitude on the sidelines, etc. College athletics, especially, may not go as smoothly as you had hoped it would at the beginning. You are now up against the best of the best athletes. But you have to keep pushing through and reminding yourself that this is where you were called to be. Lastly, do not take any practice, lift, conditioning, etc., for granted, because after 4 years, or 5 years in my case, it will be gone. I would do absolutely anything to go to another practice or conditioning with my team, as crazy as that sounds. High school and college sports do not last forever, so on those days when you may not feel like going to practice, remember that it can be gone in the blink of an eye. My best advice would be to just live in the moment and take it day by day, because these will be the best and most fun moments of your life.

Congratulations, Raider Connor Daniel, Class of '25.

Congratulations Connor Daniel! 2026 GSCA Georgia State Champion! You will represent us well!
